    No snow here as yet.
    Not cold enough today I think.
    Funny as I love snowmen but hate hate snow.

    Ok, have written the opening argument for my essay, written reviews on dooyoo (for anyone who uses it and wants to friend me, I'm elfen09) Watching my auctions and my cashback, hopefully I might be able to clear a coupla bits off with what I earn.

  • Wonder how Bookies getting on *crosses fingers*. Hopefully she'll impress them.
    Not doing much at the moment - got my hair cut today and got about 7 inches cut off :eek: - I can't believe how long it was and shamefully the guy who cut it was the last person to cut it and said it hadn't been cut this year but was probably cut in December last year :eek: - it does look nice and is not that short (it's shoulder length) but it's a bit of a shock.

    fingers n toes crossed they love her!!

    waiting for big g to drop erin off and then she has football training, i am going for a run... could be my last one this week as i have something coming up this week, cant for the life of me think what it is, but i know it's probably going to distract me from runs, for at least this weekend!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Okay had something rather unexpected happened...and need some advice from you lot.

    As you know I am debt free now, in Jan I am getting an extra payment from work (a one off payment for extra work) which after tax will be around £1000 - I have 0 savings so I know what I should do with it, and I literally need nothing at the moment that I cant buy out of my monthly salary, but part of me wants to spend it on a holiday...what would you do?
